Hopeless Help

When I feel hopeless, I still turn to You,
because You’re always there, I do believe,
because I know Your word is always true,
though I may go, I know You’ll never leave.

You can be trusted, though I cannot be,
You know all things, so little do I know,
I hold me back, You give Your all to me,
I run and hide, You’re everywhere I go.

When we’re not close, we both can tell who moved,
why can’t I be as loyal as You are?
I know I can put trust in One Who’s proved
He’s always there for me and never far.

I know Your faith in me will help me cope,
O Lord, in You I’ll always place my hope.
